Cursor Projects ushers in the 'third age' of coding agents, an orchestrator managing dozens

aryamankhawow argues AI coding has entered a "third age": with Projects, a single orchestrator removes human context-switching as the bottleneck, managing dozens of agents and pinging the user only to unblock. Humans review via verification loops—e.g., watching videos of product behavior. This supersedes the second age, where users managed only 3-5 concurrent agents (local worktrees or cloud) and reviewed just the final PR.
